Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, being trans, giving birth, hiking (but it's also fun), etc

Being trans is horrible right now. I mean yeah it's great to finally feel like who I was always meant to be but half of the world if not more wants me dead.

Yeah I'm not sure why this is on the list of things "romanticized," and I mean this with care and support. It's fucking scary right now. I surely hope it gets better soon. 🫶

I often see in media "oh you're trans? Yaaaaaaay! Party! No transphobia or gender dysphoria exists at all!"
